Wormwood Products

This powerful herb has been a subject of some contention amongst those looking to separate the different species of ‘Artemisia’. For the ancient and esoteric varietal referenced in the Bible and used for Absinthe we must look toward ‘Artemisia absinthum’. Indigo Herbs brings to you this botanical ingredient in the form of Wormwood Tea and Tincture to be utilised for cleansing your system and the energy fields that surround you. Our premium quality Wormwood tincture is some of the best that can be bought and is the official and guaranteed Artemisia absinthum.

Wormwood was made famous because of its controversial use as an ingredient in the classic 19th century drink Absinthe. There were many artists and writers who attributed Absinthe with almost magical properties for expanding their creative styles and artistic horizons. Absinthe was soon banned when it was discovered that Wormwood within the mix of alcohol and over consumption could lead to nerve degeneration. Before this period Wormwood was heavily used in the western magical traditions of Wicca. In Wicca, Wormwood is used for cleansing and keeping evil influences at bay. It is often burnt to create fumes for cleansing a house of negative energy. Wormwood gained its name because it was also used as a cure for intestinal worms.

Wormwood is a herbaceous perennial plant that grows to a height of around 1.2 meters with silvery green/grey hairy leaves. The flowers are yellow and bend down in clusters and bloom in late summer. The whole plant has a very upright stature, with woody stems that harden as the plant matures. Wormwood is completely covered in silky silvery hairs.

Wormwood Powder from Indigo Herbs is made from exceptionally high quality Wormwood plants. Wormwood has a long history of traditional use as a digestive aid and is classed as a "bitter herb". Wormwood Powder can be encapsulated, added to smoothies or mixed with water.

Using Herbal and Superfood powders on a daily basis is simple, easy and can be really delicious. The simplest way is to rehydrate the powder in a little filtered water to make a shot, this can easily be prepared once, twice or three times per day if you are taking the herbs therapeutically. However sometimes the herbs can be bitter so the botanical powders can be added to a superfood smoothie instead of just water. The smoothie can be made with a base of nut milk, seed milk or non-dairy milk such as rice milk. Alternatively the main body of the smoothie can be created with fruit or vegetable juices.

Additional superfood and herb powders can be added to fortify the smoothie with extra beneficial properties. The powders are largely dissolvable and can be scooped in and then blended, shaken or stirred until fully mixed with the liquid. Any true Superfood smoothie disciple would advise that the list of possibilities is endless with the goal to feel great and potentially replace a meal with this glass of super goodness.

Making a delicious cup of tea with loose leaf herbs is simple and easy. Brewing loose leaves is a traditional art with many different styles and varying items of tea brewing equipment on the market. There are one cup teaballs that can be filled with loose leaves, flowers, and barks and submerged straight into a boiling cup of hot water and then left to infuse. The rule of thumb with brewing loose leaves is to allow them to fully release their beneficial aromatic phyto-chemical content.

This process is lovingly called brewing and takes 5-10 minutes so a tea cosy is recommended if you are using a pot. When making a pot of tea it is advised that you use one teaspoon of loose leaf tea per person and one for the pot. Any true tea maker who truly appreciates the art would recommend heating the pot first, and of course when the tea is fully infused it is absolutely necessary that the drinker sits down and takes a minute to enjoy! For full instructions go to our How to make Herbal Tea Page.

Grab a teapot, a cafetiere or your tea making equipment of choice. The botanical ingredients can be made into an herbal tea by infusing the herb in boiling water. Use 1 cup of boiling water per person. Let the tea brew for 5 - 15 minutes. Strain and enjoy.

Serving:

Take ½ - 1 teaspoons of the herb per cup of boiling hot water. Do not exceed 1 cup of Wormwood tea per day.

Wormwood Tea is made from the very best examples of Artemisia absinthum leaves dried and cut for loose leaf tea. This process is generally a simple one where the leaves are harvested and selected for quality before they are dried in shade. When nearly all of the moisture has evaporated from the leaves there is another selection process before they are cut to size for loose leaf tea. The Wormwood Tea is then tested for foreign chemical profiles before being shipped.

Since wormwood contains thujone, a chemical similar to tetratetrahydrocannibinol (THC) which is found in cannabis, the FDA has placed wormwood in the unsafe category. It has been reported that thujone may cause nerve damage and other side effects. Do not take if you are pregnant. Take only in small doses and for no more than 4-5 weeks at a stretch. Consult with a healthcare professional or doctor of herbal medicine.

Tastes vile but then it's meant to! It's very bitter. Taking for its anti-cancer proprties as I'm in remission. The taste is growing on me though and I will order again. Very difficult to get hold of so was pleased to find this seller. Arrived very quickly, nicely packaged product, cheap p&p so 10/10 from me.

Taking herbal remedies in a Tincture or Fluid extract preparation is simple and easy. The tincture can be measured out into the small ml measuring cup that comes with each bottle. (A medicine cup or spoon could also be used) and the tincture can be taken directly.

However some people do find the bitter tincture taste to be too strong, so it may be a good idea to dilute the drops in water or fruit juice. For children, the elderly, those with a sensitive constitution or those avoiding alcohol, the alcohol can be evaporated from the tincture. This can be done by putting the drops in boiling water and leaving for 10 minutes to evaporate. For full instructions go to our How to take Herbal Tincture page.

Manufacture Process

When the flowering tops of the Wormwood plant are mature the plant is stripped of all leaves and dried in shade; this is so none of the chemical constituents are lost through contact with the sun. The leaf and flower matter are then screened to make sure only the very best material passes on to the process of cold percolation in order to extract the active constituents into tincture form. The cold percolation method employs a gradient circulation of the solution which keeps the plant ingredients in perpetual contact with the ethanol. This technique is faster and more efficient than maceration and ensures there is less waste of precious plant materials. This premium quality product is manufactured to GMP standards and Quality Assured by Indigo Herbs. It is 100% pure botanical ingredients, completely free of synthetic ingredients with absolutely nothing added.
